Is this normal? (progress did not save)

I got home from work about 10 minutes before the server restarted. I somehow died while macroing last night so I ran to a healer and rezzed, then returned to my house. My friends saw me die so they looted my corpse and left my stuff in a container so it wouldn't rot. I looted the container, put all my gear back on, and logged out knowing the server would go down soon. I came back about 20 mins later (after the server had reset) and I was once again dead with my items still in the locked down container. Not a big deal (just have to run to a healer and whatnot again), but just wondering if thsi is common. It would really suck to be farming at this hour and have the items I got not stay with me upon server restart (not that big of a deal because this place is great and free, but if true I would like to save myself the trouble).

Thanks

I haven't seen stuff like that happened since back in the day on OSI when everyone would go to Brit GY and everyone would fight and die, no one would care because the server was going down and it wouldnt save.

The server will save a while before the restart, so anything done after this will not be saved. My guess is you rez'd and retrived your stuff after the save so it didn't save it.

Every time there is a normal save, a message appears in yellow before and after it. But for the last save before a restart it displays a warning in red like "the server is about to save for the last time before the restart" and then after it has saved it will display another message in red " the server has saved for the last time before the restart". Any actions after this won't be saved. This usually happens about 15-20 mins before the restart

Lazarus - that happens here too - server war....

ORLY? LOL!

When and where? Still at Brit GY? I think it used to be around 12-1pm.

[Coloram]

yep at brit GY - last save is at about 12pm here (GMT)

Is GMT the same as EST or is EST -5 from GMT? I dont know my time zones. LOL!!

So after 12pm is when the fun starts eh? Maybe on my next day off. I remember being in 11th grade when I start UO so we used to go there during the summer days.

EST is GMT-5 so last save would be 7am EST

If I'm not mistaken server wars (time after last save to shard down) is 10mins.
